Executor Frequently Asked Questions with Answers
</h1>
This is the list of Frequently Asked Questions about Executor, the
commercial Macintosh emulator for DOS, Windows, OS/2, and Linux.  This
set of answers to Frequently Asked Questions is not designed to take the
place of our Executor manual.  However, currently our manual is not
available on-line, so this FAQ does briefly touch on some issues that
are covered more in depth in our manual. 

<p>
In addition to this FAQ, there should be README files bundled with
Executor and there is also an Executor/DOS document that describes how
to get started with Executor/DOS from a DOS user's point of view,
which may be useful to users of Executor on other platforms as well. 
That document is called &quot;ERNSTOUD.TXT&quot;, since it's hard to
come up with useful names when constrained by the DOS 8.3 filename limits and
the author of the document is Ernst J. Oud. 

<p>
Please check out these documents and this FAQ, before sending e-mail
to ARDI or the Executor Interest mailing list.
